Now I know i'm on the right track, Rich agrees with me. And to add that one more thing I mentioned..the 1309 has it's own rails...run 'er every weekend..no matter what CSX and NS are or are not allowing on their rails.
I'll add I was very sorry when "Man O' War" got sold. Shot a lot of video out of her open window.
Here is a photo I made of the 501 in her new scheme on her debut weekend. I took the ride to Frostburg that day, and got a lot of reaction from the riders. And, I sat next to a family who came from near Baltimore. They, and many others on the train where very impressed with the 501, as she had not been in the new colors in the advertisements they had seen only as the black 501. Very few folks who ride are railfans, only those few who do it because it helps the railroad.
